The sound of Lin Feng slamming the millstone boulder heavily onto the breach caused an eerie silence to fall over the city wall.

Everyone who witnessed this scene stared wide-eyed, as if they had seen a ghost in broad daylight.

That boulder weighs at least 300 pounds, and normally it takes at least two or three strong men with ropes and wooden levers to move it with difficulty.

But this young man, who had just turned eighteen, picked him up by himself?

Chen Shan's triangular eyes widened, and the scar on his face twitched a few times.

Several of his men behind him instinctively took a half step back, their Adam's apples bobbing.

Wang Dahu was also dumbfounded. He had recognized Lin Feng as his godson for so long, but he never knew that this kid had such great strength.

"Xiaofeng, you..."

He opened his mouth, but couldn't speak coherently.

Lin Feng shook his slightly numb arm, his expression calm, and he had a clearer understanding of his own strength.

34 points of strength, truly extraordinary!

"It's not a problem for us to defend the breach!"

Lin Feng suddenly turned to Chen Shan, his voice neither humble nor arrogant: "Squad Leader Chen, if we've successfully defended this breach, shouldn't we offer some explanation?"

Chen Shan snapped out of his daze, his face darkening: "You're just a greenhorn who's only been in the army for half a year, and you dare to negotiate with me?"

"Of course I wouldn't dare!"

Lin Feng said calmly, "I just wanted to remind Squad Leader Chen that if we, as a squad, hold the most dangerous breach without receiving any reward, the other brothers might have something to say. If that gets back to the centurion or even General Zhang..."

He didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was already quite clear.

Chen Shan's expression changed. Although he was a squad leader, there were centurions and chiliarchs above him.

If things really escalate, it won't do him any good.

"Fine!" Chen Shan gritted his teeth. "If you can hold this breach for a whole day, I'll give each of you five military merits!"

"Ten!" Lin Feng shouted sharply. "This shortfall is worth the price!"

"you--"

Chen Shan was so angry that the scar on the corner of his mouth was trembling, but when he saw Lin Feng walk towards another millstone boulder, he swallowed back the words that were about to come out.

"Alright! Ten it is! But if they can't hold their ground, they'll all be court-martialed!"

"make a deal!"

Lin Feng stopped talking and brought over several stones of similar size to completely block the gap.

Layers of massive stones were piled up to form a temporary wall, which, although not as sturdy as the original city wall, could at least provide cover.

"What are you all standing there for? Help!"

Wang Dahu shouted, and Zhang Ergou and the other two veterans came to their senses and hurriedly moved smaller stones and sandbags to fill the gaps.

"Xiaofeng, when did you become so strong?" Zhang Ergou couldn't help but ask while moving sandbags.

"I don't know, maybe I slept with a woman last night and it dawned on me."

Lin Feng gave a perfunctory reply while checking the bow and arrows in his hands.

This is a standard longbow commonly used by border troops, with a draw weight of approximately 80 jin (40 kg).

He tried to draw the bowstring to its fullest extent, and the bowstring made a slight "creaking" sound.

Too light!

Lin Feng frowned slightly; such a bow had limited range and power.

"Godfather, do you have a stiffer bow?" Lin Feng asked.

Upon hearing this, Wang Dahu thought for a moment and said, "There seems to be a 150-pound hard bow in the armory, but almost no one can pull it, and it's been sitting there collecting dust."

"I'll go get it!" Lin Feng turned to leave.

"etc!"

Wang Dahu quickly grabbed him and whispered, "The battle is about to begin. If you abandon your post now, Chen Daba will definitely use it as an excuse to cause trouble!"

Lin Feng glanced at Chen Shan, who was patrolling the defense zone in the distance, and thought for a moment: "I'll be back soon!"

After saying that, he flashed and flipped down from between the battlements.

"Xiaofeng!"

Wang Dahu was terrified. He rushed to the city wall and saw that Lin Feng had not fallen. Instead, he grabbed a protruding brick outside the city wall with one hand and slid down like a monkey.

The other soldiers on the city wall also saw this scene and exclaimed in surprise.

"OMG!"

"Is this kid out of his mind?!"

"Just who is this kid?"

Zhang Ergou swallowed hard, looked at the gap blocked by the boulder, and then at the direction Lin Feng had disappeared in: "His strength is terrifying, and his agility is so incredible..."

Wang Dahu was also stunned. He found that his godson seemed to have suddenly become a complete stranger.

Chen Shan naturally saw this scene as well. The scar on the corner of his mouth twitched, and his eyes became even more sinister.

Lin Feng's displayed strength and skill made him feel a strong sense of threat and... jealousy.

"Hmph! Just trying to attract attention!" Chen Shan said irritably. "You'll see when those barbarians charge in!"

Lin Feng paid no heed to this. His ten years as a special forces soldier in his previous life made climbing such rough city walls as easy as walking on flat ground.

In a few breaths, he had already descended halfway down, spotted the windowsill of the armory, and leaped into the window.

The old soldier guarding the warehouse was looking out the window at how many enemy troops there were when he was startled by Lin Feng suddenly barging in.

"How...how did you get in? Didn't you know the enemy was attacking the city!"

Lin Feng spoke rapidly: "Change the bow! Get the strongest bow! And a quiver of armor-piercing arrows!"

The old soldier glanced at him and pointed to the corner: "There are spare hard bows over there, choose one yourself! Armor-piercing arrows are for elite archers, you lowly soldier..."

Lin Feng pulled out four bloody left ears and slammed them on the table: "Military merits in exchange!"

The old soldier's eyes lit up, and his attitude immediately improved: "Oh, this one's got some substance, just you wait!"

Soon, a jet-black longbow and a quiver of thirty specially made armor-piercing arrows were brought out.

The bow is made of tough mulberry wood, and the string is made of oil-soaked ox sinew, making it feel heavy in the hand.

The arrowheads are long and sharp, with blood grooves, and are designed specifically for piercing armor.

"But let me tell you, even General Zhang can barely pull this bow, so don't try to be a hero!" the old soldier warned.

Thanks!

Lin Feng cupped his hands in greeting, and without waiting for the veteran's reaction, he climbed out of the window again.

When he returned to the city wall, the bugle call for the Northern Barbarian army's attack had already sounded.

"Waaaaah—waaaah—"

The deep, desolate sound of horns echoed across the plains as the dark mass of northern barbarian infantry began to advance toward the city walls.

At the forefront were swordsmen carrying huge wooden shields, followed closely by engineers carrying ladders, and then archers.

On the city wall, the Zhenyuan garrison stood ready, with rolling logs, pounding stones, and hot oil all prepared.

"You little rascal, you really are..."

When Wang Dahu saw Lin Feng return, he was both angry and anxious, but he swallowed his words: "Forget it! It's good that you're back alive. This bow... are you really capable of using it?"

"You'll know once you try it."

Lin Feng's gaze was calm as he casually placed the hard bow in front of him, the tip of the bow almost touching the ground of the city wall. The heavy weight of the bow made several veterans nearby turn their heads.

Zhang Ergou came over, touched the hardwood bow arm, and clicked his tongue, saying, "This bow looks terrifying, but considering how hard you were moving those stones just now, pulling it should be a piece of cake for you."

"Being strong is one thing, but being accurate is another," another veteran said. "This hard bow is not as easy to handle as a soft bow. It's powerful, and the arrows fly off course. If you haven't practiced, you can't hit anyone at all."

Lin Feng didn't reply, but simply drew out an armor-piercing arrow and nocked it.

He stood still, lowered his shoulders and elbows, and steadily exerted force with both arms.

"Squeak—creak—"

The hard bow was slowly drawn open, its body bending and groaning as if it could not bear the weight, but in the end it was drawn into a full moon.

Lin Feng's arm remained as steady as a rock, without trembling in the slightest.

Seeing this, Wang Dahu, Zhang Ergou, and the others were still amazed, but more than that, they felt a sense of "I knew it."

Chen Shan, who was not far away, was also staring intently at this side.

Seeing Lin Feng easily draw back the bowstring, his eyelids twitched violently, and he cursed under his breath, his unease and jealousy growing stronger.

This kid absolutely cannot be allowed to live!
